George M. BarreWs Statement. 



Gentlemen, — The milch heifer offered by me for premium, 

 is half Ayrshire and half native, and is two years and two 

 months old. She came in about the middle of August, when 

 my feed was entirely dry, and not calculated to make milk. 

 She has been giving, for the last two or three weeks, nine and 

 one-half quarts of milk per day ; her keeping has been nothing 

 but grass feed, and that rather poor.

Gentlemen, — My heifer that I offer for inspection, was 

 two years old last April, and native breed. She calved the 

 30th of August, and she gives now eight quarts of milk per 

 day. Her keeping is nothing but dry cornstalks and grass.
